Notes.

Games to-day-Portland at Manchester,
Lynn at Lowell, Lawrence at Boston, Salem
at Haverhill.
There is some talk Of appointing Lynch a
league umpire. Lynch Is at present on the
statf Of the New England league, and he Is
one Of the best umpires in this section Of
the country.
The news yesterday that the Portlands
had won game was received with much
pleasure by the friends Of the home club.
A dispatch from Lawrence says; The plan
Of the consolidation In tho New England
league seems likely to fall through by the
disagreement Of Managers Burnham and
Fessenden. The scheme proposed was, since
the Lawrences have been drawing poor au-
diences with fairly good team, and Haver-
hill drawing well with poor team to con-
solidate the two. This was all arranged pro
viding two other teams In the league do the
same to make an even number Of teams. IL
was proposed that the Boston Blues go 10
Salem, but Manager BuSnham Of the Blues
says If her takes good team TO Salem he
mu st be manager and own the franchise. On
the other hand Manager Fessenden says II
he furnishes audiences he must have the
management, so it seems likely the clubs
will remain as they are until the end Of the
season.

Bows Band Concert.

Legault's Boys Band gave concert at City
Hall last night to very good sized, and GER
tainly very enthusiastic audience. The
Band had but three selections in pro-
gramme CT twenty-one numbers, the remain
ing selections consisting ofduets and trios by
members Of the band and certain young
misses, their friends. The accompaniments
were played by Mrs. Julia Gosse, and it
seems unnecessary to add, they were a de-
cided feature of the evening. Among the
best performances were the violin solo of
Jamie Dyer, and the cornet solo of George
Legault. The drum corps stirred up the au-
dience in good shape, and they applauded
them to the echo. Almost every number
was encored,

subsequent panic in the New York stock
market today caused considerable uneasiness

that no one was badly hurt in the general
shaking pat New York, confidence was re-
stored and the crowd found itself largely

ANOTHER PANIC.
The New York Stock Exchange
Greatly Excited.
A Rumor That Jay Gould Was Dead
Causes CONSERVATION.
No Houses Fall and the Excitement
Subsidies.

NEW YORK, June A.-The New York
Stock Exchange this morning became ex-
tremely active and excited with heavy de-
clines. The stock of the Manhattan elevated
road was sold down. 1t opened at 1861 and
went down at rapid rate, declining on al
most every sale from the opening up to 1130
o'clock. At that hour the decline amounted
to 80 points. No cause could be assigned for
the heavy declines except the withdrawal Of
support by the clique in the stock. The rest
of the list declined in sympathy.
The market opened with feeling of con-
fidence in many Of the stocks which suffered
so severely yesterday, and large supporting
orders were given all over the room. In a
few moments, however, there was heavy
selling apparent, and report was started
that there had been falling out between
Jay Gould and Russell Sage and Cyrus w.
Field. At the same time Berdan offered
some heavy blocks of Manhattan stock.
which were taken by Wight & Co., and in a
short period the sales by Berdan amounted
to 1000 shares, and Wights purchases to
1000 shares. These sales were made at
about 156, but as soon as Wight u Co.'s Or
ders were filed the price broke to 1491. A
rally did not occur until the price reached
100. fall of 36a per cent. from the opening
figure.
The room was crowded with brokers and
the decline brought out selling orders in all
classes of securities. Western Union, which
held firm for while, began to break about
IL o'clock, and in quarter OF an hour
dropped eight points. The fall in other
stocks was correspondingly great.
The greatest excitement was on the loan
crowd. Parties who had been prominent in
l0aning money refused to lend any amount,
no matter how small. By noon half the
prices had recovered.
A rumor got around soon after the Ex-
change opened that Jay Gould was dead.
This undoubtedly precipitated matters. The
rumor was quickly cOntradicted, when
things began to assume more hopeful ap-
pearance.
The room during the panic was filed with
rumors of all kinds, and kilograms from all
points followed each other in rapid success
sion, giving selling orders and inquiring
about many reports which were by this time
circulated all over the country. Increased
short interest saved the room from money
panic by the demand for stocks for delivery,
and S. V. White and some other large oper-
atOrs entered the market and began buying
freely. They soon gathered large follow
ing, and the buying turned the market al
most as rapidly as it had fallen and stocks
took long jumps back to their former prices.
Jay Gould sent the following to Kiernan's
agency,
"The bulletin you are putting out, that my
Manhattan stock is in loans, is a malicious
falsehood. Not share of my Manhattan is
in loans, or has had my name on the bank.
Nor do owe a dollar in the world. You
should promptly contradict"
